Aviva Premiership Rugby Round 17: Round-Up

Nothing changes for Wasps, according to director of rugby Dai Young, despite surrendering their Aviva Premiership Rugby unbeaten record at home.

Saracens became the first side to topple Wasps at the Ricoh Arena in the league with a 26-17 victory, but the visitors didn’t have it all their own way.

Eye-catching tries from Christian Wade and Elliot Daly before the break had Sarries on the back foot, before Jackson Wray and Chris Wyles scored to turn things around – with the help of Alex Goode’s boot.

The result leaves Wasps in sixth – three points from the Aviva Premiership Rugby top four – but Young insists they are still on track to complete a successful campaign.

"Nothing changes as a result of today, we are still a work in progress and we are still aiming for a place in the top six,” he said.

"We will address what went wrong today for our set-piece didn't function as well as we would have liked and we lacked a bit of control in the second half.

“However, we do have individual players who can lighten up any stadium as you saw in the first 20 minutes."

Charlie Sharples and Richard Hibbard crossed in the first period for Gloucester but James Wilson’s try double either side of a third cherry and whites try through Dan Murphy brought Northampton back into it before Manoa made the telling contribution.
